I got the blue screen of death on exit while Browzer was "cleaning up". I think attempting to overwrite files without the use of the file system may be dangerous and unstable. They may need to debug that a little more or stop trying to be quite so annal about the file removal process._________________Retired: Altair 8800, PET, TI 99/4A, Apple II

I got the blue screen of death on exit while Browzer was "cleaning up". I think attempting to overwrite files without the use of the file system may be dangerous and unstable. They may need to debug that a little more or stop trying to be quite so annal about the file removal process.

I ran it on Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3. I actually really like that it is clean and snappy. But I'm nervous about the clean up methodology they are using in regards to the file system.

It shouldn't be a problem.

From what I understand, it runs in Ram. Nor should it alter anything in your file system.

What is does delete its own temporary index .dat files.

Nothing else is touched.

This is explained in their notes.

"Index.dat cleanup

Index.dat files usually store information about the web addresses and cookies of the sites you visit using Internet Explorer. In previous versions of Browzar, we did not delete such information. However, as a direct response to valuable user feedback, Browzar now cleans up and leaves no trace of website addresses or cookies visited whilst using Browzar.

Technical notes

The index.dat cleanup process works by reading the index.dat files and overwriting any entries relating to the Browzar session with the 0x0BADF00D byte sequence. This byte sequence is used as standard by MicrosoftTM WindowsTM to overwrite deleted entries in index.dat files.

Of course, there will still be the records of sites you have visited before using Internet Explorer. So if you visit a with Browzar that you visited previously with IE, the original IE record is not deleted. If you are using index.dat reader software to check the efficency of Browzar, please check the date stamp on any records rather than just the URL'
